OK, there's a few things that need discussion since I'm not sure how best to cope with it. Some of it is just a to-do list, some of it needs discussion.
1. Thoughts
There are no configurable permissions for it at present, nor is there any way to disable it. Required permissions: add thought, edit (own/any) thoughts, delete (own/any) thoughts, reply to (own/any) thoughts.
2. Likes
There are no permissions for likes, nor any ability to disable it. I'm thinking that we also want options for whether likes are enabled or disabled, whether people can like their own posts or not and whether likes are only for the first post (i.e. liking the topic) or not.
3. Feeds
There's no way to have feeds active but disable the feed block in the sidebar. Do we need an option for that somewhere?
4. Quick access
There's no option to disable that. I'm thinking it might be a useful option. Also, might be nice to offer a hook for extending it so that plugins can add other areas to it.

Like your own post?! Not so sure about that, sounds a bit narcissistic to me!
Personally I think Likes should be on a per-post basis as one could well like a particular reply without liking the topic. Alternatively a system such as I've seen on several IPB sites where you can Like the topic and thank individual contributors.

Well, the system does not currently prevent you from doing just that, you're perfectly able to like your own post if you want.
Likes ARE on a per-post basis already, I'm only asking about giving admins the choice to make it per-topic.
As far as the 'thanking' goes, that's not going to be in the core, and that part is not negotiable, having anything over and above the likes will be plugin-material.

O/T: I love Control Enter. I love you Very much!!!!

Just to add... the browser has feeds built in but there are a bunch of feeds that the browser may not pick up, like per-topic feeds which IIRC are not indicated by the header.

True, you typically won't, but the option's there.
Also note to self: the jumpto calls the core board index code, it would be possible to hook in already through the board index code though I would be inclined to add a flag when coming from the jump-to to indicate that's the case. Or, failing that, a separate hook for jump-to on its own (but I'd still probably include the flag so that if you hijack something into the board index, it won't show up in the jump-to if you don't want it to)
